"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Well I just got a membership to 24 hour, and in a couple of weeks i plan to go back to martial arts.

Also quitting smoking, getting my grades up, and getting my ass in gear in all other areas.

Anyways I just bought two martial arts books "Zen in the Martial Arts" and "Living the Martial Way."

I already read "Zen in the Martial Arts" and its really good, its written by one of Bruce Lee's students.

I just started "Living the Martial Way" and I really enjoy it thus far.

Have any of you read these?
Comments/discussion on them?
Also any other martial artists give me some advice on going back... i quit about 2 years ago I was almost at purple in taekwondo... (about halfway through)
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Living the Martial Way is an excellent book, very practical and if oyu read into it enough, the principals of combat are closely related to courtship and dating...

as said by a daimyo in the 1500's of Japan...

"Living everyday on the field of battle"


I would also reccomend "Budoshoshinshu" by Daidoji Yuzan

as well as "Go Rin No Sho (Book of Five Rings) by Miyamoto Musashi

Best,

Jin

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

He is correct.

Knowledge of fighting, and actually doing the fighting are two different things.

If you only read a good book, you will only know about the art, not do.

But if you train, you will be able to perform, even if your knowledge is poor.
